sc's response was good.The parasite lump under the fir can get to be half dime in diameter-At least I've seen many this size.One parasite per lump.I've cut into one one time and they are similar to bot fly larvae.If a lump is noiticeable-warm or cold weather-I toss the critter.I don't dispute cutting a larger area around the parasite to salvage the rest.Others have told me thats what they've done.
